FRANCIS R. JORDAN, OF BOONE, IOWA.

GLUE CONTAINER AND BRUSH HOLDER.

Application filed my 23,

To aZZ 10710722 it may concern:

Be it known that I, F RANCIS R. JORDAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Boone, in the county of Boone and State of Iowa. have invented a certain new and useful Glue Container and Brush Holder, of which the following-is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a container for holding glue and a second container mounted within said first container for the holding of a brush, the parts being of simple, durable and very inexpensive construction.

More particularly my invention relates to a device for the holding of glue and a container for the holding of water or some other liquid in which the brush used for the spreading of glue may be deposited when not being used, thereby always keeping the bristles of the brush soft.

Still another object is to provide a container having a second container detachably mounted therein whereby the second container may be removed and easily cleaned.

With these and other objects in view my invention consists in the construction, arrangement and combination of the various parts of my device, whereby the objects contemplated are attained, as hereinafter more fullyset forth, pointed out in my claim, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved glue container and brush holder.

Figure 2 is a front elevation of one of the containers by itself.

Figure 3 is a vertical, central, sectional view taken through my glue container and brush holder; and

Figure 4 is an end elevation of the container with a handle secured thereto.

In the accompanying drawings I have used the reference numeral 10 to indicate an ordinary container which is provided with sides and ends and a bottom the top of the container being open.

The end walls of the container are inclined from front to rear as clearly illustrated in the drawings.

The upper edge of the side walls and end walls are turned over as at llso as to receive and hold a wire bead 12 in position. The wire head 12 and the turned over portion 11 of the container walls tend to reinforce the container walls.

Openings 13 are provided in one of the 1921. Serial No. 471,803.

side walls of the container 10 so that screws or the like 14 may be extended therethrough for securing the entire container to a wall or support 15. The screws 14 are shown in dotted lines in Figure 1 of the drawings. lVIounted within the container 10 is a brush holder or second container 16 which has its forward wall inclined forwardly so that in cross section the container 16 is substantially V shaped as clearly illustrated in Figure 3 of the drawings. l

The upper edge of the forward wall of the container 16 is provided with a wire reinforcing bead 17.

The sides of the container 16 are provided with hook portions 18 which are designed to extend over the upper edge of the end walls of the container 10 for supporting the container 16 within the container 10:

It will be seen that the container 16 would ordinarily slide within the container 10; so that in order to positively hold the container 16 in position and yet make it easily removable from the container 10. I rovide a rod or guide member 19 which has its ends turned at right angles to its major portion. The ends being soldered or otherwise secured to the end walls of the container 10.

The guide member 19 rests against the lower end of the container 16 and prevents its forward movement. 1

In the practical use of my device the con tainer 16 is filled with water, while the container 10 is filled with glue. The brush used for the spreading of the glue may be placed in the water in the container 16 and thus kept soft at all times.

The brush holding container 16 is arranged so that it is near the support so that when the brush is removed therefrom it can then be dipped into the glue within the container 10 and spread upon any object with the least amount of movement.

l/Vhen the container 16 has been partially filled with glue which may remain on the brush it can easily be removed, washed out, filled with clean water and again placed in position, thus insuring the user of the glue that their brushes will always be in the best working condition.

In Figure 4 of the drawings I have shown a handle 20 secured to the container 10. which may be used when it is desired to carry the entire glue container and brush holder device from place to place.

Some changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of the parts of my device without departing from the real spirit and purpose of my invention, and it is my intention to cover by my claim, any modified forms of structure or-use of mechanical equivalents, which may be reasonably included within its scope.

I claim as my invention:

In a device of the class described a container'having its upperendopen, andhaw ing its back wall otgreater height than its,

front wall, the back wall being, provided with openings near the upper edge thereofso that thecontainermay be fastened/c0 a support, a second conta ner des gned to be received in said first container, said second container having hook portions formed on its sides adapted to overlap the upper edge of the side Walls of the first container, said second container being substantially V shaped in cross section, a rod received within said firstcontainer and secured to the end walls thereof, said rod being spaced from and parallel with the back wall of said first container, the lower end of-said second container being received in the space betweenthe back. wall of the firstcontainer andsaid rod for maintainingit in proper position asand for the purposes stated. Des Moines, Iowa, May 19th., 1921.
